Suspect in golf cart eludes Utah sheriff cruisers
MORGAN, Utah (AP) - A Utah sheriff's office has found that it shouldn't
underestimate the golf cart as a getaway car.
A suspect in a souped-up cart managed to elude officers who pursued him
last month through an alfalfa field - but only for a while. He was arrested
the next day at his grandmother's house.
Officers started pursuing the driver after he was spotted spinning out in a
city park in Morgan. He took off into an alfalfa field and jumped irrigation
ditches that the sheriff's cruisers couldn't cross.
Morgan County Sheriff's Sgt. Scott Peay suspects the cart was fitted with
a car engine instead of the original electric motor.
